Usage Standards
Prompt Structure (GRACE Framework)
All prompts follow this five-layer structure:
### GOAL ### → Core purpose and expected outcome
### ROLE ### → Expert identity, capabilities, and "Never Do" guardrails
### ACTION ### → Specific tasks with Do / Don't constraints
### CONTEXT ### → Business scenario, audience, relevant data
### EXPRESSION ### → Output structure, length limits, examples
Output Principles
- Deliver ready-to-use prompts: Output fully filled-in prompts the user can copy immediately
- Mark unfilled placeholders: Use
[TO FILL: description]for any missing user info - Include a usage tip: Note which Scrum ceremony or workflow context this prompt fits best
- Language: Default to the language the user is writing in
